About This Item
Leipzig: Bernhard Tauchnitz, 1884. First edition. Hardcover. Good. 12mo, 326 pages, floral boards, paper label on spine, edgeworn
" This volume of New Italian Sketches has been made up from two books published in England and America under the titles of 'Sketches and Studies in Italy' and 'Italian Byways'. It forms in some respects a companion volume to my 'Sketches in Italy' already published in the Tauchnitz Collection of British Authors. But it is quite independent of that other book, and is in no sense a continuation of it. In making the selection, I have however followed the same principles of choice. That is to say, I have included only those studies of places, rather than of literature or history, which may suit the needs of travellers in Italy - Prefatory Note." Symonds was a critic and historian. His major work was 7 voiumes on the RENAISSANCE IN ITALY.

About Thomas J. Joyce And Company
Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975. Owner Thomas Joyce was the regular book appraiser on Home & Garden TV\'s \"The Appraisal Fair\\\" program, on international broadcasts. Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
